Hi my name is Julie and I'm looking for a full time Nanny position. My last job I was the full-time Nanny for one wonderful family that have a 3-year-old boy and a 6-year-old boy. I will be available to start a new nanny position ASAP. In my previous job before that I was a Nanny in a Nanny-share for a toddler boy and girl who I still continue to take care of occasionally.

If you're interested I would love to send you my resume. :)
